The He(I) photoelectron (PE) spectra of cycloheptatriene (1), 7-methylcycloheptatriene (2), 7-methoxycycloheptatriene (3), 7-methylthiocycloheptatriene (4), and 7-diemthylaminocycloheptatriene (5) were recorded and interpreted using MO energies and ionization potentials acquired from B3PW91 calculations. Partial simulated PE spectra were in good agreement with the experimental results. The axial and equatorial conformers have distinct PE spectra as illustrated by simulation. The PE spectra of 2, 3, and 5 are representative of the equatorial conformers, while the PE spectrum of 4 was in accord with a 1:1 mixture of equatorial and axial conformational isomers based on spectral simulation. The calculated free energy differences between the equatorial and axial conformers are in the order of 2 kcal mol–1 (1 cal = 4.184 J) for compounds 2, 3, and 5, where the equatorial conformational isomer is lowest in energy. In the case of 4, the equatorial conformer was only marginally lower in energy than its axial counterpart, where the free energy difference is 0.1 kcal mol–1.Key words: 7-substituted cycloheptatrienes, He(I) photoelectron spectroscopy, B3PW91, spectral simulation.
Compared with the tertiary phosphane P(C7H7)3 (1), the amine N(C7H7)3 (2) possesses the structure of a flattened trigonal pyramid with a sum of CNC angles of 350.0° (cf. 300.2° (av.) in 1). The heteroatom (with the lone pair) is situated 27.0 pm above the C3 basal plane in 2, but 86.4 pm in 1. The amines N(C7H7)3 (2), NH(C7H7)2 (2a) and N(Ph)(C7H7)2 (2b) react with tropylium tetrafluoroborate, [C7H7]BF4, to give N-tropylidene-(1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl)-immonium tetrafluoroborates, [(C7H6)N(R)(C7H7)]BF4 3 (R = H, from 2 and 2a), 4 (R = Ph, from 2b), which have been characterized by their IR and NMR (1H, 13C) spectra.
